I don't know why I am writing about this, maybe to get it out of the system. Maybe you lovely folks on TL have been in a similar situation. So basically this girl and I have been talking for about 2 years now, just friendly talking. But for about the last 2 months we started to talk way more, like all day texting, facebook, on the phone (she lives in my home town, but I don't live there anymore due to college but not a big deal to drive to visit only 2 hours.) She is also my best friends sister, although she is more of a best friend status now adays since he and I don't talk much anymore. So after really getting to know her, I decided you know what what the hell I am gonna tell her I like her, I feel like we have this great connection lots of things in common, and she makes me smile like crazy. When I told her the response was rather confusing.....summing up to her saying " i see, well i'm flattered." I had to try to break that friend zone because I really do care for her. I than told her "hey you know I am gonna be there for ya, even if we don't become a couple." Maybe I messed it up I don't know, but I love her, and care about her so much...and I really don't know what to do or think, but I guess better to take a shot haha. Anyway if you guys/gals have any advice on a similar situations or a pep talk lol or even just reading it thank you for your time.




I also gave her this song to covey my feelings too who knows why .

I don't like this and would never do that. Either you are determined and really want her. Then everything but total succes is ruled out. Or you are just another maybe. I don't see you breaking the friend zone this way. Sorry pal.

E: Think the other way round: would you like to be with someone who would also be ok being just friends? What kind of relationship would that be?

This is why we can`t have nice things. There are probably only two things that are difficult for beautiful girls. One of it is finding friends, because other girls identify you as a threat and all the boys just wanna get in your pants sooner or later. She probably thought you were gay or something and now, instead of someone to be friends with, you made everything awkward.

"hey you know I am gonna be there for ya, even if we don't become a couple." - not creepy at all, I am glad she does not live too close to you -.-

Here is how I wish creeps like you would handle those situation:"Hey, I am really falling for you, and if you don`t feel the same we should stop seeing/talking to each other, because it will just hurt too much.".

Sorry mate, but this ain't gonna work out. If you want a girl, you have to show her you like her, not tell her. Touch her, flirt with her, invite her to hang out more often. And analyze her reactions - that means, if she doesn't reciprocate, back off; you can't make her like you. 'Confessions' never work out.

You can just stay friends, she won't be mad or anything just because you like her. As long as you can be just friends, and not abuse the friendship to sneak in another shot at getting together it will work

While your tactic may not have been the most effective strategy and not at all something I would recommend, I enjoyed reading your blog. Even if you don't get the girl, it was cute and it seems like you only had good intentions.

Your "hey you know I am gonna be there for ya, even if we don't become a couple." line did make me cringe though haha.

Also for next time: It's easier to just ask them out instead of confessing your feelings, you will still be able to tell whether she likes you or not and it won't be such an all-in move

Ok i'm gonna lay it out for you

you've been talking to this girl for years. you've been, by your own description, close friends for some time. and she doesn't want to date you. and you're like "dont worry i will always be there for you" as though that's something that's like reasonable to write instead of terrible and that's healthy rather than a waste of your time and that's good instead of bad

Imagine you had a female friend, one who you did not find attractive sexually and you are not interested in romantically, like at all. Maybe her personality would get along with yours terribly in a relationship. Maybe she's like clingy and needy and weird. Maybe she's just really ugly or has some weird values that weird you the heck out. You guys are fine as friends though. OK so after a while you are texting her a little more often then she texts you saying she has a crush on you or whatever. Now you have like zero interest in this girl, she's totally icky, but you don't want to like shatter her world so you let her down easy and then she says

"hey you know I am gonna be there for ya, even if we don't become a couple"

do you think

A) that is kinda sorta weird and you're glad she doesn't live nearby
B) that sentence has zero chance of convincing you to want her
C) it sounds desperate and desperation is rarely sexy
or
D) all of the above

ok so now we understand that situation, now imagine a situation where instead of some weird girl chasing after you it's you chasing after some girl, and you're the ugly girl and the girl is the dude who's like "wat" and you sent that text or said that thing how do you think she would respond, and do you think she'd ever want to date you if she said she doesnt' want to date you? ok maybe i've gotten off topic here let's see um

OK imagine you want to get this job and they give you an interview, and you and the interviewer get along well but then they inform you "sorry you didn't get the job" what do you do do you A) continue job hunt like a true man or B) call the company back and say "hey you know I am gonna be there for ya, even if I don't become your employee" yeah ok I think we know what's the better option here

alright maybe that didn't perfectly make sense, but the point is, go meet people and ask them out, don't cling to this girl like a barnacle. She doesn't want to date you. you have to accept that. Accept it and move on and look back on this and laugh someday when you're older and more mature. Barnacles don't accept things and move on, and you know who likes barnacles? well, I don't, but I'm betting it's mostly like marine biologists, not sexy girls (except sexy marine biologists) and even then they only like real barnacles, not metaphorical ones.

So the moral of the story: go try to meet new women. Go move on. Go date someone who actually wants to date you. Life is so full of people, and maybe you can find someone like this girl, but actually appreciates / loves you. Wouldn't that be better? There are many fish in the sea, and you seem like a smart guy, and there's so much you can do. Don't tie yourself down right now, and definitely don't do it to try to date someone who doesn't like you. There are billions of women out there. Go and experience things, and have fun. It's why we're here isn't it

Ohhhh this made me cringe hard. Especially the part where you sent her that youtube link to "convey your feelings". Ha ha ha but like Qhawk said, you'll laugh at this soon enough, sounds like you already are actually.

Also what's going on with Bhand?

This is god awful advice, don't ever listen to anybody who ever says you can be friends with a girl you like. That's only possible for men who are very experienced. Even then, those men know better.

Don't listen to this.

This is the best example of how to fail at breaking friendzone. I'm going to go ahead and say, In the future, always do the opposite of what your first inclination tells you.


As for what you should do from here.
#1 stop contacting her, it will be hard but do it. Only respond to her. Some even recommend only responding after every 3rd time she attempts contact. This plays into the whole Freud fact about wanting stuff that's limited and not caring about stuff that is plentiful.
#2 If she eventually misses you or whatever and you do hang out, make an effort to flirt or talk to other women in her presence. She will immediately think that she is lacking something that they have to make you hit on them but only be friends with her all this time.
#3 Change something about yourself in the meantime. You need to be a different novel interesting person to her again.

These aren't 'playing games', this is just how psychology works. It's kind of lame but the ends justify the means in this case.


PS- If you stop contact with her and she doesn't make contact with you for like 10 days. Forget about her. She's not into you.
